Itinerary: Venice - Athens

Over all I would give this ship a C+...the service was soso (although our butler and stewardess were great); after the 2nd day the employees never greeted us or even smiled. The 2 premier dining rooms (Prime 7 and Signatures) has the worst service ever (I could have received better at a Denny's) and the last night at signitures we sat for 1 hour and 15 minutes with dirty plates from our appetizer still in front of us - we went back to our cabin and had room service which delivered in 30 minutes.

The ship was full of (mis-behaved) children and were not told in advance that this was some type of family cruise. Small children in the Premier dining rooms were disruptive and should not have been allowed; there was no such thing as a intimate, quite dinner.
Embarking wasn't the easiest, they gave us our room key and pointed to the elevator (on other ships we were escorted to our room); disembarking was confusing and we almost missed our transportation.

The food was the same day after day and a 10 day cruise was more than enough.

We had a penthouse and it was very nice.

Stay away from Montenegro and corfu and all bus trips; do your own excursion...the bus trips were very long and only went to one place.

Let's put it this way, we will not be sailing Regent seven Seas again!
